William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo
William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

Notes on Cole's Hill
NOTES ON COLE’S HILL by Edward R. Belcher Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number One, 1954 The designation of Cole‟s Hill as a registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, was announced at the Annual Meeting of the Pilgrim Society on December 21, 1961. An official plaque will be placed on Cole‟s Hill. The formal application for this designation, made by the Society, reads in part: "... Fully conscious of the high responsibility to the Nation that goes with the ownership and care of a property classified as ... worthy of Registered National Historic Landmark status ... we agree to preserve... to the best of our ability, the historical integrity of this important part of our national cultural heritage ..." A tablet mounted on the granite post at the top of the steps on Cole‟s Hill bears this inscription: "In memory of James Cole Born London England 1600 Died Plymouth Mass 1692 First settler of Coles Hill 1633 A soldier in Pequot Indian War 1637 This tablet erected by his descendants1917" Cole‟s Hill, rising from the shore near the center of town and overlooking the Rock and the harbor, has occupied a prominent place in the affairs of the community. Here were buried the bodies of those who died during the first years of the settlement. From it could be watched the arrivals and departures of the many fishing and trading boats and the ships that came from time to time. In times of emergency, the Hill was fortified for the protection of the town.

Deconstructing the Myths of “The First Thanksgiving” by Judy Dow (Abenaki)
Deconstructing the Myths of “The First Thanksgiving” by Judy Dow (Abenaki) What is it about the story of “The First Thanksgiving” that makes it essential to be taught in virtually every grade from preschool through high school? What is it about the story that is so seductive? Why has it become an annual elementary school tradition to hold Thanksgiving pageants, with young children dressing up in paper-bag costumes and feather-duster headdresses and marching around the schoolyard? Why is it seen as necessary for fake “pilgrims” and fake “Indians” (portrayed by real children, many of whom are Indian) to sit down every year to a fake feast, acting out fake scenarios and reciting fake dialogue about friendship? And why do teachers all over the country continue (for the most part, unknowingly) to perpetuate this myth year after year after year? Is it because as Americans we have a deep need to believe that the soil we live on and the country on which it is based was founded on integrity and cooperation? This belief would help contradict any feelings of guilt that could haunt us when we look at our role in more recent history in dealing with other indigenous peoples in other countries. If we dare to give up the “myth” we may have to take responsibility for our actions both concerning indigenous peoples of this land as well as those brought to this land in violation of everything that makes us human. The realization of these truths untold might crumble the foundation of what many believe is a true democracy.

Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket
Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket A summer trip to Massachusetts could be well-spent on the beautiful coast! Start by taking advantage of the new Cape Flyer weekend rail service from Boston to Buzzards Bay or Hyannis – the site of the Kennedy family home. Trains will depart from Boston’s South Station every Friday, Saturday and Sunday May-October; return service the same days. capeflyer.com If you’re driving, take your time, stopping along the way to check out the many cranberry bogs throughout Plymouth County. Your first stop, however, should be in the town of Plymouth itself. As the landing location and subsequent settlement for the Mayflower's Pilgrims in 1620, Plymouth, just 40 minutes south of Boston, is home to one of the greatest dramas in the founding of America. And, it was here in 1621, where the Pilgrims celebrated what is now known as the first Thanksgiving with their Wampanoag neighbors. Situated about 40 miles south of Boston along Massachusetts' South Shore, Plymouth unfolds along a scenic harbor of blue waters and picturesque boats. In “America’s Hometown," you'll get a glimpse of Plymouth Rock — and the Pilgrim way of life – at Plimoth Plantation. This bi-cultural living history museum offers a re- created 17th century English Village that includes Colonial interpreters who bring the era to life, a Native Wampanoag Homesite, Crafts Center and numerous Museum Shops. The reproduction Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction of the Pilgrims’ original ship is located at State Pier just a stone’s throw from Plymouth Rock, that historic piece of granite thought to be the stepping stone for these courageous settlers into the New World.

PLYMOUTH in the REVOLUTION: Hometown Heroes
PLYMOUTH IN THE REVOLUTION: Hometown Heroes The officers of the American army, having generally been taken from the citizens of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illustrious Roman, Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus, and being resolved to follow his example, by returning to their citizenship, they think they may with propriety denominate themselves the Society of the Cincinnati. First meeting of the Society of the Cincinnati, 1783 With the end of the Revolutionary war, 13 separate colonies with different backgrounds and needs struggled to form a united country. The people looked for heroes to unite all the different factions. As victorious general and first president, George Washington attracted considerable attention and admiration. Washington was compared to Cincinnatus, a Roman general who left his beloved farm to serve his country as a general and then, at the end of the war, voluntarily gave up his power to return to his farm. The Order of the Cincinnati, a club of Revolutionary officers (and later of their lineal descendants) was formed in 1783. Washington served as its president until his death. Not everyone applauded the Order: As the officers of the American army had styled themselves of the order, and assumed the name of Cincinnatus, it might have been expected that they would have imitated the humble and disinterested virtues of the ancient Roman ... instead of ostentatiously assuming hereditary distinctions. Mercy Otis Warren, Rise and Progress of the American Revolution, 1805 Many Plymouth area leaders, however, such as veterans James Thacher and Judah Alden, were proud to be members of the Order of the Cincinnati.

400 Years After the Mayflower Set Sail, a New Exhibit Acknowledges the U.K.'S Impact on Native American Communities
400 Years After the Mayflower Set Sail, a New Exhibit Acknowledges the U.K.'s Impact on Native American Communities Circa 1621, Massasoit or Ousamequin, chief of the Wampanoag of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, pays a visit to the Pilgrims' camp at Plymouth Colony with his warriors after signing the earliest recorded treaty in New England MPI/Getty Images BY SUYIN HAYNES SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 9:00 AM EDT O n a September day in Plymouth, southwest England, a ship set sail. The day was Sept. 16, 1620, and the vessel was the Mayflower. Its passengers and their voyage would soon secure their place as an indelible part of American history. Now, 400 years later, in another September in Plymouth, the facts of that story are coming in for a reexamination. The Mayflower story taught to generations of American schoolchildren goes something like this: The ship’s arrival in Cape Cod, Mass., that November, was the start of British colonization in the Americas. Those onboard were pilgrims, migrating from Europe as a result of religious persecution; they created a new Plymouth in Massachusetts, overcame adversity and eventually celebrated the first Thanksgiving. But that is only a fraction of the true history. The Mayflower’s passengers were not all pilgrims and 1620 did not mark the start of British colonization, nor did the 1621 Thanksgiving event mark a happy ending when it came to the settlers’ impact on the Indigenous Wampanoag people, who had been living on that particular part of the land for thousands of years. “Quite honestly, the Mayflower story can’t be told without the inclusion of the Wampanoag perspective,” says Paula Peters, a Wampanoag historian living in the community of Mashpee, Cape Cod.

Plymouth Colony
Name: ____________________________________________ Date: _______________________ Plymouth Colony Overview: Plymouth Colony was an English colony from 1620-1691. It is also known as New Plymouth or Plymouth Bay Colony. It was one of the earliest successful colonies in North America and took part in the first Thanksgiving in 1621. Origins of Colonists: The original group of settlers were known as separatists because they had gone against the King of England and the Anglican Church. The group was under religious persecution to leave England. In 1619 they obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company to let them settle a colony in North America. In 1620 the colonists left for America on the ships Mayflower and Speedwell. Leaving: The two ships left South Hampton England on August 15th, 1620. The Mayflower had 90 passengers and the Speedwell had 30 passengers. The Speedwell had immediate problems and had to go back. The Mayflower returned and it finally left for America with 102 passengers on September 16th, 1620. Voyage: The voyage from England to America at these times would typically take 2 months. In the first month the Mayflower had smooth sailing. In the second month they were hit by a strong winter storm which killed two of the passengers. Arrival: The Mayflower first arrived at Provincetown Harbor on November 11th, 1620. The following day Susanna White gave birth to Peregrine White who was the first child born to a pilgrim in the New World. While exploring the area they ran into a Native American tribe and went looking for another area. The ship soon came across an area they agreed to settle.

The New England Child's Thanksgiving
THE NEW ENGLAND CHILD’S THANKSGIVING by Peggy M. Baker, Director & Librarian, Pilgrim Society & Pilgrim Hall Museum 2003 Saturday Evening Post, November 1912 Childhood celebrations of Thanksgivings past live on in the words and drawings of 19th century authors and artists. They recall the week-long preparations for the festive dinner, the anxiety of the school play, the high spirits of large family gatherings, the after-dinner romps, frolics, candy-pulls and dances. The meaning of "family" had changed during the 19th century, evolving from a large extended clan including distant relatives and household help to the small nuclear family we recognize today. Domestic holidays helped define this new family. By the beginning of the 20th century, childhood itself had become the object of nostalgia. The autobiographical writings of authors such as Charles Dudley Warner and Edward Everett Hale celebrated their own childhood, in recalling their youthful Thanksgivings. Writers of fiction, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and Louisa May Alcott, created "old-fashioned" Thanksgivings centered around children and set in a rosy- colored past. In actuality, New England childhood was diverse. Celebration of holidays depended on social status, economic means, and family dynamics. And the New England childhood was not confined to the states of the Northeast.As settlers moved west, the rituals of New England moved west as well. But whether lavish or meager, whether celebrated in Massachusetts or elsewhere, Thanksgiving in its 3 facets - learning, feasting, and playing - was an integral part of the lives of New England children. LEARNING ABOUT THANKSGIVING The story of the Pilgrims’ First Thanksgiving is accurately recounted in The Child at Home, published by the American Tract Society in 1867.

An Honorable Past, a Glorious Future! by Peggy M
Pilgrim Hall Museum: an honorable past, a glorious future! By Peggy M. Baker, Director Emerita Pilgrim Society & Pilgrim Hall Museum The English writer and lecturer J.S. Buckingham toured America during the 1830s. A remarkable account of his Forefathers Day visit to Plymouth in 1838 was published in his book, America: Historical, Statistic, and Descriptive: The anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims falling this year on a Saturday, and Saturday evening being revered in many parts of New England as the commencement of the Sabbath, it was thought proper that the public ball, which usually closes the proceedings of the anniversary day, should on this occasion be given on the night preceding. The ball was to be given in the building called “Pilgrim Hall;” the tickets of admission were three dollars each, including refreshments; and the hours of dancing were limited from seven in the evening till three in the morning… The dances, which were all previously fixed on, and announced in a printed code of regulations for the evening, distributed with every ticket, consisted of country-dances, called here, more accurately than with us in England, “contra-dances,” cotillions, Spanish dances and quadrilles…. [as] this is almost the only public entertainment in Plymouth throughout the year, every person that can save up the requisite sum of three dollars, and who feel no scruples of a religious nature as to joining in such entertainments, make a point of attending the annual ball. There was a great mixture, therefore, of classes, and consequently a great variety of tastes in dress, and of general carriage and manners.
